The consecration of V. Gene Robinson as an openly gay bishop of New Hampshire has divided the Anglican Community, a historic pillar of Christianity embraced by seventy million people in 164 countries. Journalist Stephen Bates assesses the current state and historical context of this fight. Including personal interviews with all chief players in the struggle, this is the only book to offer the full story of the Church's battle over homosexuality. As the threat of schism looms ever closer, this book, with its controversial yet fair look at the fight, will be both illuminating and essential to all with an interest in the Church and its stance on homosexuality.Bates, Stephen is the author of 'Church at War Anglicans And Homosexuality', published 2005 under ISBN 9781845110932 and ISBN 1845110935.
